Who Should I Start? Wil Lutz or Matthew Wright

Tuesday, November 4, 7:33 PM

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz (illness) was listed as a non-participant during Tuesday's estimated practice. The team should offer more on his status soon, but this is somewhat concerning with a quick turnaround against the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday. The veteran kicker knocked down his lone extra point and 1-of-2 field goal attempts during Sunday's win over the Houston Texans. Lutz figures to be ready for Thursday's game, but fantasy managers will have a better idea after Wednesday's practice session.

The Washington Commanders announced on Tuesday that they released kicker Matthew Wright from their practice squad. Wright was added to the active 53-man roster for Monday night's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs with Matt Gay (back) out, but now the 29-year-old will be back on the open market. Wright made his only kicking attempt in Week 8, an extra point on the team's only score of the game in a 28-7 loss. The move to cut Wright essentially means that the Commanders feel comfortable that Gay will be ready to kick on Sunday night in Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks. Wright has now kicked in one game each for Washington and Tennessee, making his only field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries. Fantasy managers should have better options at the position than Gay in Week 9.
